Women physicians are more likely to be called by their first name by EVERYONE. I frequently get emails from people I don't know (med students, reps etc) that start with "Hey Helen." Female students are more likely to call me by Dr. Hougen. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

I spent so much time 3-4 years ago writing this out every day several times a day, that it made sense to create this. Did one for prostate cancer treatment options too. Patients and relatives immediately saw their value. @imperialurology @IP_London
Thank you @soph_cash for referencing our decision aid. A real menu of BPH options available to men. Clear and concise information & adequate time for patients to digest the information is key #bph

Sadly, We continue to hear about heartbreaking consequences of the #Dobbs decision to overturn #RoevWade. #BetterLateThanNever but we felt the need to issue a statement from @StanfordUrology to reiterate that abortion is a fundamental right. stanford.io/3CUPVOX

There's always more to be done, and I hope the same outrage and energy I saw on the day of the ruling is still alive and well and that we can channel it into tangible change starting within the Urology community. @wandering_gu's petition was a fantastic start -

and the @AmerUrological shouldn't think their own statement gets them out of following up and doing more for this issue. For those who missed the petition: change.org/p/open-letter-to-…
Excited to announce my new role within @StanfordUrology as Director of DEI! I certainly have big shoes to fill given all of the incredible things @DrEnemchukwu has done during her tenure. Looking forward to collaborating with others to advance our shared missions!

Of all my publications, this may be the 1 I’m most proud of. It’s hard to describe the feeling of being a surgery attending & many don’t talk about the worry/anxiety. This is my attempt to normalize talking about it. Thx @AnnalsofSurgery for publishing! journals.lww.com/annalsofsur…

@SWIUorg believes healthcare is a basic human right and reproductive healthcare is fundamental to health. We decry the criminalization of healthcare workers and patients who seek reproductive care. #RoeVWade #urologistsforreproductiverights @AmerUrological
